What is 1780 percent of 1.55 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1.55 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 1.55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.55=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1780% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1780%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.55=100%
2) x=1780%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
1.55/x=100%/1780%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1780% of 1.55

1.55/x=100/1780
(1.55/x)*x=(100/1780)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.55=0.056179775280899*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.056179775280899) to get x
1.55/0.056179775280899=x
27.59=x
x=27.59

now we have:
1780% of 1.55=27.59
